attack played pressure trash waited
We know we played like some trash out there. And now we know we need to play a lot better than we did. We need to put the pressure on them. I think we just set back and waited for them to attack us. We have to be the first ones to be aggressive.
area attack shoot trying
I wasn't even in attack mode. I was just trying to come off the pick-and-roll. If there was a mismatch, I was just trying to get to the rim or into the 15-foot area where I could just try to shoot over them.
attack boards boxing great helping job last man point running team teams year
We were a great rebounding team last year so teams are really making it a point to attack the boards on us, ... As guards, we're going to have to do a better job of boxing our man out and then getting back there and helping out. That's how we can get out running and get into our offense.
blown hang lose talent
When you look around the league, you don't see them getting blown out. They just play hard. They hang right there and they lose in the end because they don't have the talent that everyone else does.
We said 'what's up' to each other. It's all good.
against hand limit win
We said we were going to keep him off his right hand and he went right all night. That's why he had a triple-double against us in his debut. If he's going to have a triple-double, they are going to win the game. We have to limit what he does to win this series.
fighting
We're not in yet. We are still fighting to get in, every night.
feet hit people somebody
We just have to live with it. He was 28 feet away and he hit it with somebody in his face. There aren't very many people who can hit that shot.
basketball energy floor good looking toward
Those players, they have a different way of playing. If they're looking at you and you're not with them, they think you're a failure. So I told Kwame he has to go in and use that energy toward the basketball floor to get in good with those guys.
beat fighting takes until
We're going to beat them once. That's all it takes - is one time. We're just going to keep fighting and fighting and fighting until we get 'em. That's all we can do.
edge help hopefully last playoffs sharp
We're going into the playoffs with an edge because we really had to be sharp the last 10 games. It's a whole new season, but hopefully that'll help us.
finish road trip
This (six-game) road trip is more important than anything. We have to come out strong. If we can come out strong, we will finish strong.
against basketball early glimpse level stand trying wants
Everyone wants to play against the world champs and see where they stand as a team. We get a glimpse of them early to see where we stand as a basketball club. We're not at that level yet but we're trying to get there.

Every single night in this league you are going to run up against a great player who is capable of taking a game over and helping their team win, ... Now we're going to New Jersey and they have great players. Being in the NBA is not easy.
